The Dominion Bank was a Toronto-chartered institution that operated from 1871 until its 1955 merger with the Bank of Toronto to form TD Bank. By 1925, chartered bank note issue in Canada was already in terminal decline — the Bank Act revisions of 1923 had tightened restrictions significantly, and the Bank of Canada, which would eventually absorb all chartered bank circulation, was only a decade away. This note was printed relatively late in that story.
At the $50 face value, chartered private issues saw almost no retail circulation. These moved between businesses and financial institutions. Surviving examples are rare precisely because so few were ever handled by ordinary depositors.
